Overview & Reviews
Minor changes include a new front-end treatment with new foglights on the LS Premium, six-spoke alloy wheels as standard equipment on the LS Premium, new taillights on the sedan and new exterior badging. Inside, there's a new steering wheel with lighted cruise control buttons (LS Premium model only), and a 60/40-split rear seat is now standard on all Sables.
- Excellent value for the money, above-average levels of safety and cabin space, available as a sedan or a wagon.
- Forgettable rental car persona, not as refined as other cars in its class.

No complaints at all - 2004 Mercury Sable
By Bill L. - May 16 - 2:00 amJust couldnt find a better value although we tried. Had over $3000 in GM points, but couldnt justify not buying the Sable from Uptown Motors. Gave an excellent deal from the "getgo". Would recommend car and dealership to anyone.

Best Buy / Worst Sell - 2004 Mercury Sable
By Carguy - February 10 - 3:06 amI have had my Sable LS for about 9 months. Traded a 2003 Aviator for better gas mileage. This car is the most comfortable car I have owned including the Aviator and 2003 Mercedes C-320. The seats have plenty room, a/c works extremely well even in New Orleans summer climate, mach sound system is very adequate. Performance with Duratec V-6 is very responsive. Gas mileage could be better, however, I am sure part of that goes along with different driving habits. Trunk space is very good. Style is good but lacks eye catching appeal, looks like many other mid size sedans. For the money you cant get a better car, however, if you want to sell it you will take a beating as resale is poor.

Sable 24V - 2004 Mercury Sable
By Arrow - July 15 - 2:00 amThe 24V DOHC engine is extremely smooth, quiet and pulls this solidly built car to highway speeds quickly and without fuss. The interior room and trunk volume are exceptional and unmatched by the foreign competition. The traction control takes a little getting used as compared to my two previous Sables without this feature, but is extremely effective on snow and ice. Who needs a vehicle to haul around all those 4WD mechanicals all the time? The leather interior is top- notch and the power sunroom adds a new dimension to my motoring. I would highly recommend this Georgia-built car to anyone looking for value in well- built car.

Third Sable - 2004 Mercury Sable
By Ray DiMaio - May 28 - 10:00 amThis wagon is my third one. I have enjoyed this car as it has gone through upgrades. I rate it high because none of the three have given me any problems other than normal wear and tear. I would get another one when this one is turned in to the leasing company.

Actually a Great Car - 2004 Mercury Sable
By Mike OMeara - May 23 - 10:00 amThe Sable LS with the 24-valve engine is a great performing car. I have the leather, power package and CD and basically this package provides you with just the right amenities without overkill. This is my second Sable, and the last one I drove 152,000 with no problem, then let my teenage daughter have it. The 200 hp 24-valve engine is a solid performer, but I wouldnt mind seeing a more powerful engine as a future option -- somthing like the 260 hp offered in the Lincoln LS. Overall a real solid performer.

So Far So Good - Part III - 2004 Mercury Sable
By 04SableDriver - May 21 - 9:16 amNearly 12,000 miles and still rolling along! Not much new to report with my Merc, save for what I think will be usual (and on-going) praise and dismay. To the former; a spacious and comfortable interior, smooth ride (whether city or highway), and myriad amenities for the buck. To counter; (relatively) poor gas mileage (no more than 21 mpg overall), a dysfunctional starter "repaired" now twice in 11 months, and a generally unrefined feel throughout (poor interior fittings, rough idlying/revvving motor, random creaks, etc). Sables are no longer constructed as new, yet still abundant as wholly reasonable "pre-owned" buys. Despite stated shortcomings do I recommend the ol Merc? You bet!

Excellent value - 2004 Mercury Sable
By giuseppe - March 15 - 2:00 amThis car is well-equipped (ABS, side airbags, traction control, monroof, leather, CD). Because it was the end of the model year, I paid $18K for it. The 24V Duratec engine has excellent power. This is a great value for the money.

So Far So Good - Part II - 2004 Mercury Sable
By 04SableDriver - December 16 - 12:33 am6,000 miles/3 months and so far so good! My Sable continues to impress with its smooth ride, comfortable seats, and generally polished demeanor. Truly this car speaks volumes as to why Americans buy millions of mid-size sedans each year - they really do just "fit!" Certainly not exciting, hardly sporty; but without a doubt, comfortable, quiet and eminently faithful in their daily motions. Complaints in my case are few thus far. Gas mileage is hardly stellar (avg is about 20 or so mpg; all highway), and the standard stereo emits nothing but dull and flat noises. Finally "quality," that ever looming threat, has remained perfect - no glitches to report! Stay tuned - Part III to come!
